The Schedule referred to in these" Letters Patent and making part of the lame.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, THOMAS BAeGorr, of the city of Baltimore, county of Baltimore, State of Maryland, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Wire Cloth; and I do hereby declare the -following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making a part of this specification, in which- Figure l is a side elevation of a piece of cloth made according to' my invention.

Figure 2 is a perspective view of the same, both views showing the cloth as placed upon rollers.

Figure 3 is an elevation of a section of the cloth, showing how it is constructed.

This invention relates toan improvement in wire cloth, and it consists in producing an endless and seamless webv of such cloth, as an article of lmanufacture.

I construct my cloth inthe manner shown in iig. 3 of the drawings, that is, by rst forming what may be termed the warp, by winding spiral coils of wire, one

with the coils inclining to the right, While the vother inclin'es to the left, which coils are of any length fwhich may be necessary to vgive the desired width to l the cloth. After two coils have been formed as described, they are placed side by side, and the lling,

Ywhich consists of a straight piece of' wire, is passed lwires,'or those which pass' through lthe coils, should be made in the form of a staple, with each of its parallel wires of sufcient length to extend the entire width of the cloth, as this prevents any portion of the coiled wire from being unwound at the ends. If these Wires are so formed, 'and then inserted '.from opposite sides of the cloth alternately, they will be found to prevent any uncoiling of thecoiled wires, and at the a direction transverse to the 4greatest length ofthe web, are eachencircled by two of the spiral coils, and

that each of such coils encircles two of the straight wires, which arrangement gives great strength to the fabric.

It is apparent, that webs of wire cloth may be con- 1 structed, upon the plan herein described, Without being joined at their ends, and I contemplate such forms of construction, whenever the necessity for it shall arise, and hence do not `limit my invention to the manufacture of such cloth when joined together at its ends,- so as to form it into endless wire belts, Having thus described my invention, What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-' The production of wire cloth, constructed as herein described, whether the ends of the webs-are joined togetheror not, as an article of manufacture.

In testimony whereof, I have signed my name to this speciiication in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
